| My kids are loving this!! We've read a couple of the "bucket" books and brainstormed tons of dipper and filler behaviors. |

| I'm doing this big book for shared reading tomorrow. I call this "rip and read". I wrap the book in paper then rip of bits at a time to revel the cover. After each rip the kids give input as to what they think the book is about, etc. They always say Mr. Grump is grumpy because of the cat and really the cat isn't even in the story...just on the front cover. I like Mr. Grump because the text is really repetitive and the kids are constantly pulling it out of the big book center. |
